Trauma Recovery Program For Young Women Opens

We are excited to announce the launch of Momentum for young women! Momentum offers women ages 18-25 a unique and healing experience, focusing on trauma recovery and independent living skills. Our goal for these young women is to have the opportunity and resources to resolve any family, social, or emotional issues that have been barriers to their success and happiness.

"Momentum provides a healing, nurturing, and challenging environment that empowers women to launch into young adulthood mastering the skills necessary to build relationally, vocationally, and emotionally fulfilling lives," says Michelle Piper, Executive Director and Founder. "Young adult trauma survivors are often placed in the industry with younger adolescents or middle-aged adults. But, they have unique developmental needs that need to be taught and fostered with others their age while healing from trauma in order to launch the rest of their lives successfully."

According to Jenny Selent, Clinical Director and Founder, "Trauma recovery and independent living skills go hand-in-hand for the young women at Momentum. Becoming empowered to launch into the world successfully is vital to the developmental stage they are in. Meeting that developmental need is an essential part of their recovery process. We are dedicated to meeting this unique need for young women. That is why we are a small program. The intimate environment is important to the individualized support needed for this population."

This small, specialized, program will accommodate 6-16 young women. Our first residents will begin on July 20, 2015. If you have any questions or would like to discuss a potential client, please contact our Admissions Director, Sharon Findlay, at (443) 929-9122 or email sharon@momentumgrowth.com.
